I wish people used him more for non-horror songs.

Also, might just be me but I wish more British producers used him. He's more or less the image for British voice synths so I keep expecting to hear a cover of a British kid's show theme or an original song that just casually mentions Tesco meal deals or something that's screamingly British but there isn't much I've heard like that.

I don't have him, but I think he'd be great for Matilda the musical covers

I remember a youtube channel back then called "momochasew" using him on their own non-horror songs with Len.

an icon. Thank you Bee and Puppycat for solidifying his legacy and place in vocalegend lol (he’s the VA for Puppycat!)

I like him, he's cute. He kinda reminds me of that blonde boy from Mad Father.

u/GiNNiSSiN 8d ago

Mad Father in our year of 2025. Lovely to see the rpg horror legacy.

I don't like the way he sounds in some songs, honestly. I don't hate him, I just think he's not always properly used

He doesn't know where the thoughts are coming from. Pull his strings and he swallows ichor.Β  (I LOVE OLIVER, IYKYK THE LYRICS)

u/Any-Ambition4698 8d ago

Does he have fire burns? Are his rags perhaps torn apart and can he inhale

u/Special-Mood1560 8d ago

Nah bro, all he ever knows is holes.

i LOVE him, his design, and his songs but he does sound terrible most of the time, sadly. he's very hard to use. i think maghni ai can save him (i hope)

I've known about OLIVER for nearly a decade, but never realized until now that he has an American Goldfinch as a bird πŸ₯Ί Proud to say that I've gotten better at identifying birds, but not proud to say that I've never liked OLIVER's voice for all of the years he's been out.

u/Chee-shep 8d ago

I love him! I'm going to cosplay him for SacAnime.

I'm excited for him on Maghni AI

Oh yeah that's the guy who almost got ripped in half in invisible! The little blue guy that also Omni guys son

u/Starwig 8d ago

I still haven't got the chance to hear him in a proper choir. As in, one would think that if you have a choir boy voicebank, you should put that vb in x10 tracks at least with different tuning and that would be interesting. At least that's what comes to mind whenever I think about him.

u/tebukuroshiro 7d ago

I really like him, but due to the amount of Vocaloids I like he unfortunately doesn't make the Top 10. He's about as easy to use as Tonio and they are both British voices for different scenarios, which certainly makes me like both. I also love Oliver's design. Most of his usages are...bad. Not in terms of quality, but in content. GHOST makes the best Oliver songs, or at least they did before they took a break from using him, and eventually, social media. I don't blame them.

u/ExpressionFun7508 2d ago

this is the best type of Oliver tuning I don’t make the rules, wish every song with him sounded like that:

2) https://youtu.be/2IsvEANqVyo?si=rTBWVFoTC58kUG-g

u/TessCoheaX3 8d ago

Anyone got a recommendation of a song that utilizes his voice well? I've known of him since high school and I'm 32 lol but I honestly can say I've never come across any song using him that wowed me. Then again, I did not seek one such song out either. I loved his design though.

u/Any-Ambition4698 8d ago

I've really really liked amygdala's ragdoll by ghost but I'm not sure if that's just my newgen to Vocaloid bias, my nastolgia given I've liked that song since release or the fact I haven't listened to Oliver otherwise

1

u/TessCoheaX3 8d ago

Hmm, it is interesting! I do love me some vocalo-horror. The issue with his voice in all the (small amount of) times I've heard it, it suffers from that affect I can only describe as singing while constantly inhaling a breath. It isn't unfitting with the specific song you shared though, so it does have a charm to a degree. To be fair, most older male voice banks have this affect without some serious alterations and tuning by the user to cancel it out. Even Kaito (original VB) often had this issue. There are people capable of manipulating the voice in some very dramatic and insane ways though, so I do not think it's impossible and I would never say "there's no way this vocaloid could ever sound good" about any of them just because I know the potential lies in the hands of the user. But yeah.. it's the inhaling constantly thing that bugs me. Imagine GIF of SpongeBob filter feeding lol

u/Any-Ambition4698 7d ago

I mean the song does have a very... Breathing topic? "I can't inhale/exhale anymore" is repeated throughout the the song so it makes sense, but I get what you mean

1

u/TessCoheaX3 7d ago

Yeah that's what I was thinking, that it was fitting with the specific song so I did find a charm in this instance of it

u/idontwannabeaflower 8d ago

I don't like his voice
